Chapter 140 The Queen's Hatred (21)
Although the little fox had transformed into a human, Huo Qing did not let the little fox out and kept it locked up in the palace.
Ning Shu was a little confused. Was Huo Qing going to imprison the little fox for life? According to the little fox's temperament, keeping her in the room and not allowing her to come out would be like asking for her life.
But not long after, a palace maid found the body of an animal in the imperial garden. The animal had been skinned, revealing its bright red flesh. Flies were flying around the body.
Ning Shu looked at the body. The body shape was similar to that
of the little fox, so it should also be a fox. Huo Qing rushed over and was struck by lightning when he saw the body. He immediately roared, "Who, who killed my little fox?"
Huo Qing's expression was very sad. He frowned tightly and asked Ning Shu coldly, "There is such a vicious person in the palace who actually killed my little fox. Queen, you must find the murderer. I will skin him."
Damn, didn't your little fox turn into a human? This fox is really a little fox. You won't have such an exaggerated performance now.
Huo Qing wants the identity of a little fox to disappear? !
"Queen, I want you to find the murderer." Huo Qing said to Ning Shu with gritted teeth.
Ning Shu bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "I know, I will find the 'murderer'." Ning Shu bit the word "murderer" very hard.
Huo Qing also asked someone to make a beautiful little coffin, and then put the fox's body in the coffin with a sad face. Ning Shu was watching from the side and almost rolled her eyes. It was so artificial. It was obviously a spring. Flirtatious. She had to twist her face to make a sad expression.
Who the hell are you trying to disgust?
After the fox was buried, Huo Qing began to attend court. Not attending court some time ago had caused dissatisfaction among the ministers. Huo Qing sat on the dragon chair with a sick face and told the ministers that he was sick some time ago and didn't attend court.
Huo Qing's bedroom was still surrounded by guards, and no one was allowed to enter, making the atmosphere of the entire palace seem unusually solemn.
The little fox died, and the concubines in the harem were almost so excited that they set off firecrackers to celebrate. The troublesome fox was finally dead. Thanks to the person who dared to kill the little fox.
Amitabha.
Compared with the excitement of the concubines in the harem, the pale face of Concubine Xuan was livid. Ning Shu asked angrily: "Empress, what does the emperor want to do?"
"You obviously have already thought of asking me what to do?" Ning Shu was not angry at all, and said to Concubine Xuan: "Do you agree with the plan I told you last time? Do you want to cooperate with me?"
"The emperor no longer wants all the women in the harem. The harem is like a vain one. Why should we talk about the little love between husband and wife?" Ning Shu said lightly. This is the correct way to abuse a scumbag, to destroy men together with women, not women fighting women.
Concubine Xuan bit her lips tightly with her teeth, her face struggling. Ning Shu said again: "Don't worry, you can think about it slowly, but I think that after a while, that vixen will appear in the harem openly and be favored by the emperor. Maybe the emperor will even disperse all the harem for her. By then, we women who serve the emperor will not even have a status after death, and we can't enjoy the incense and sacrifices of future generations."
"Your Majesty, I agree. I will send a letter to the Grand Tutor's Mansion." Concubine Xuan took a deep breath, her eyes firm, and said to Ning Shu word by word.
Ning Shu smiled.
In the evening, Huo Qing came over and said straight to the point: "Queen, it will be the autumn harvest soon. I will go out of the palace to harvest grain with the people and take a look at this year's harvest."
Harvest grain together? To put it bluntly, it means to put on a show, have some fun, and pretend in front of the people. Ning Shu said: "Your Majesty, do I want to go?"
Such occasions should be for the emperor and the queen mother together, wearing coarse linen clothes to harvest grain. Ning Shu knew that Huo Qing would not take her with him.
Seeing the expectation and excitement on the queen's face, Huo Qing immediately said, "Queen, you don't have to go. I will be back soon this time. There must be no one in the palace. And have you found the murderer I asked you to find?"
"I am investigating, but I don't know who did it. I don't have any clues." Ning Shu looked at Huo Qing with a distressed expression.
Huo Qing's face flashed unnaturally and said, "No matter what, we must find it out."
Ning Shu looked confused.
Huo Qing said a few words and left. The time he talked to Ning Shu was no more than a cup of tea. Ning Shu looked at Huo Qing's hurried back and said, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk. This is not a scary place. Why is she so afraid of the little fox getting angry?"
"My queen, the emperor hasn't rested in your palace for a long time." Qingzhu said to Ning Shu anxiously.
Ning Shu took a sip of tea, "The emperor will not come to this harem anymore. Don't worry about it. Go to sleep."
The next morning, Ning Shu took the concubines in the harem to the palace gate to see Huo Qing off and send Huo Qing to harvest rice.
Ning Shu found that there was a young eunuch with red lips, white teeth and creamy skin beside Huo Qing. Even though she was wearing the clothes of a young eunuch, she was still beautiful.
Her eyes were just as lively and beautiful. Although they were big almond-shaped, the tail of her eyes was slightly upturned, with a kind of charm and incomparable beauty.
Seeing that Ning Shu's eyes were on the young eunuch, Huo Qing blocked the young eunuch without leaving a trace and said to Ning Shu: "Queen, take good care of the harem. I will be back soon."
Ning Shu bowed and saluted, and said with false concern: "I remember everything. My sisters and I are waiting for the emperor to come back. The emperor, be careful on your way."
As soon as Ning Shu finished speaking, she heard a slight cold snort, and Ning Shu pretended not to hear it.
Huo Qing got on the carriage, and Eunuch Qiu shouted to set off, and the long team went to the palace gate.
The young eunuch did not get on the carriage, but followed the carriage, his eyes rolling around, looking very curious.
Ning Shu watched the long team leave the palace gate, and then turned to her own palace.
After Huo Qing left, these concubines became even more bored. They dressed up beautifully, but the emperor didn't even look at them.
Ning Shu asked her concubines to go back to their own palaces and embroider or find fun by themselves when they had nothing to do.
Perhaps it was because Huo Qing had not entered the harem for a long time, and no one was favored. For a while, the relationship between these women eased a little. They gathered together to chat when they had nothing to do. They would be bored to death if they didn't find things to pass the time.
Imperial Concubine Xuan kept looking at the palace gate and asked Ning Shu: "That little eunuch must be a little fox. It's really weird. How can a fox become a human?"
"It looks very beautiful. It is indeed a vixen." Imperial Concubine Xuan said coldly.
